It's fine to keep using,just annoying. When you get it booked in just make sure you keep chasing. You may not be as impatient as me but after paying 30k for a car I don't expect to wait over 6 weeks for Subaru and cosworth to sort my car out.

Hmmmm Check Dis Oot from Crossroads!
Apart from the honkin front end and dodgy decals, how do I get the extra 65 horses?!?
Looks like a front mount intercooler in there?

I personally think that car is horrible to look at!

Having driven it its fantastic! It goes and goes feels way more powerful than 465 and very useable power too in my opinion.
I think the bumper was put on to make sure there was no issues with the front mount it had fitted.

Three cars I know of
KT Green apparently has one in storage as according to the old fella that owns the place, they couldn't sell the thing so they've just put it in the back of the warehouse. Not a clue on colour or number as the conversation didn't get that far.
There was a Gunmetal grey one at the same dealership I bought my hatch from, Bulldog Twyford, it sold the same weekend I picked my car up, it's reg was GL60 LRD.
There is also a Silver one in Thorner in Leeds, once again sorry I don't have build number etc as I was working and too busy looking for the house where my next job was.

First Imy puts up his R205, then Banny sells his... well I don't think that car can be summed up in words, now members of the Cosworth club are selling up.
Turning into a bit of a bleak month here on Scoobynet...

I have no doubt that with over 400bhp a stock Cosworth would go round the ring faster than 7.55 in the hands of professional drivers. Until someone takes one over there and does that on a clear dry track it's going to be very much a matter of opinion. I'm pretty sure if one was to fiddle with those adjustable dampers and put more aggressive tyres on it (not the comfort option PS3s) it'd be quicker still.
The one Tommi drove round the Nurburgring was a modified version wthat dry aggressive tyres that is reasonably similar to the S206, but with a more aggressive setup. I think the RA-R did it in 7.58 ten years ago so I would hardly call a three second improvement a massive advance. It's underpowered and there is no substitute sometimes for raw power.

The first one to break the 8 minute mark was the protype for the MY05 Spec C RA, that did the lap in 7.59 (standing start) so its pretty quick, the road car used exactly the same setup, same as the TM tested car, that would include the Bridgestone RE070 tyres and STI suspension (same map, no added power).
Not quite the driest track but here is the vid anyway

and according to this AF Noble in Penicuik has a CS400 with 3500 miles.

Why people are selling up is a bit beyond me unless they are worried about warranty??
